Question 1

Is the fan quiet?

Accepted Answer

It's not super loud, but it's not super quiet either. You can definitely tell when it's on from the other side of the room.

Question 2

Will this fit a GTX 1060? It is 11.73" long.

Accepted Answer

I think the answer is it depends. I just bought this case for a build using the EVGA 1070 which is also 10.5. The PCB itself appeared to fit. But I mean with no clearance at all. The shroud around the fans however sticks out just a little bit farther and I was about 5 millimeters from being able to squeeze it in. So best to just steer clear of this case if you want a high end card.

Question 3

Does anyone know if the ASUS M5A97 will fit in this case. It appears like it would, just wanted to make sure. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872

Accepted Answer

Is for standard ATX and Micro ATX, and YES ASUS M5A97 ATX will fit. !!!!!

My come with a 500 watts Power supply, not 575 watts, but I read lots of problems with the power supply, so maybe they change for this one with 500 watts.

Come with a rear fan and space for 3 more fans, and a very good air flow.

Build cheap, but deliver what you need.

For the price is an steal.

Question 4

Does this case come with motherboard rising things or do i need to buy them separately?

Accepted Answer

It comes with all the mounting hardware.

Question 5

will the PSU in this case power a GTX 760?

Accepted Answer

Requirements for GTX 760 is 600 Watts, also depends on the rest of the devices you have connected, best choice is a 750 watts, but this is a great case anyway

You don't find a case for this price range with a big and reliable PSU. if this case come with no PSU, $39 bucks after rebate, is an awesome deal too.

Question 6

Can it take bigger PSU than 500W ?

Accepted Answer

The power supply unit in this case is a standard ATX form factor, so you should be fine replacing it with another ATX-style power supply.  I run five 1TB HDDs in the case off the 500W PSU; I use it as a FreeNAS server for redundant disk storage of backups of the Windows PCs on my network (3 desktop workstations, 2 laptops, and a pretty beefy HTPC unit).  This level of use does not even begin to tax the power supply unit that comes with the case.

Overall, the case is sturdy, easy to use, and a real bargain, in my opinion.

Question 7

Is anyone running a coolmaster hyper 212evo in this case? looks like it might not fit.  (mobo M5a97 Le R2.0)

Accepted Answer

The case itself is measuring 180mm wide and this fan says its 120mm. I think it's possible to put that bad boy in here. Worst comes to worst you wont be able to put your side panel back on the case.

Question 8

How do you install the front fan on this case? Does the mesh with the Raidmax logo pop off somehow?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can pop it out. After taking out the side panel, there is a nook between the frame of the front mesh and the case main chasis. On each side there are 2 screws.

Careful though, a regular sized 120mm in the front would apply pressure on the fan and might cause squeeking.  * one of those thin 120mm fans would do ya perfectly

Question 9

I have a new Asus motherboard that is 9.6 x 9.6.  Would this fit into this case with current mounting? If not, which cases and power supplies would enable me to mount this board.

It is a micro ATX board

Accepted Answer

Yes it should the mother board I have was a gigabyte micro std with usb3. I can't currently check the size but yes it should the case can also hold a full size atx. My mobo was around $80 if that can help you find the dimensions. Also your going to need a two pin to 4 pin connector for the motherboard that is around 10$ because the mobo power supply is SLIGHTLY outdated but still good for price. Also the ps runs well. So overall yes and he most likely will need a two pin to 4 pin if I'm correct. Ms. Bryant Sent from my HTC One™ S on T-Mobile.

Question 10

will the included pcu support an R9 270X?

Accepted Answer

Video cards are supported by mother boards, not pcu's.., Not sure what a pcu is but have a look at whatever motherboard you going to use to ensure it supports PCI Express 3.0.

If it does, then it will support this video card.

Hope it helps...
